Chapter 37 - A Long Battle

(" Elise open the System Store and purchase the stamina potion .")

[[ Confirmed ]]

(" Looks like all that's left is to kill the rest of the pursuers and follow suit." )

Elite Guardsmen

" Charge !!!"

The Elite Guardsmen charged at the enemies pursuing us. One by one they fell into the ground whilst being pushed back, little by little they managed to gain some ground and halt the enemy's advance. We've secured the rear , now we can either stay here and fight or retreat by foot.

However despite the odds stacked against us I choose to stay and fight. I pulled my sword from its sheath , in a flash of light I swung my sword towards the enemies charging right at me. One by one the enemies fall into the ground laying dead as I cut deeper and deeper into the heart of the enemy's formation.

The momentum didn't last long , the Elite Guardsmen became fatigue from the overwhelming forces we face in front of us . They began to slow down their phase as their stamina lessens with every blow traded with the enemy. Swords clashed , spears thrust , arrows fly over our heads. The enemies kept coming at us with their superior numbers trying to overwhelm us.

The longer we fought the more the enemy's became inpatient. They started shooting arrows at us whilst their foot soldiers rushed at us. They didn't care much about their own allies , all that's in their minds is the anger and frustration of not being able to kill us despite their prowess and numbers.

In the midst of confusion an arrow struck the chest of one of the Elite Guardsmen. Pushing him back , the enemies took that opportunity to stab at him from all sides. One after the other the enemies came at him stabbed through his body until he dropped down to his knees and bleed out to die. With five arrows to the chest and 3 spears to his neck and back he stumbled down and die on the spot .

The other Elite Guardsmen Yelled in anger and sorrow , at the death of their comrade. They charged blindly towards the enemy's closest to them and started slashing and stabbing right and left. The death of their dear comrade left a deep impression on them as their newly found energy and resolve formed from their anger. Kept them fighting and fighting in a deranged state, like a berserker not fearing pain nor death.

One by one they fell into the spears of their enemies. They ran out of strength their bodies gave up beneath them. Despite their minds telling them to move to attack to kill another enemy their bodies won't listen to them. They died one after the other , not being able to put up a fight.

I am now left alone in the middle of the enemy swarm of troops. Despite managing to kill half of the entire enemy force, they stood tall. They didn't even flinch at the death of their fallen comrades. They simply followed the orders given to them by their commanders without doubt nor hesitation. They just kept throwing them selves at me. With my stamina reaching its limit, My movement became slower and slower to the point that its difficult for me to dodge the enemy's arrows whilst fighting in the midst of the enemy formation.

Little by little the enemy drained my stamina , by throwing away their lives in exchange for mine. They did not care about their own , they didn't care about casualties. All they wanted was to kill me right then and there. A Volley Arrows fly towards me, I bent backwards to avoid them . They fly above me and hit the enemy standing right behind me.

As I pulled my body back up, spears came thrusting from all directions. I managed to deflect a few with my sword, but some still managed to graze my armor. With each swing my sword started to deteriorate , then it happens. My sword snapped in half .

I took out other weapons from my inventory to replace my broken sword. I took out another sword, however unlike the short sword I've been using until know , its a Long One handed Sword. Accompanied by a small dagger. I threw my broken sword towards one of the archers aiming their bows onto me , buying myself just enough time to return to my sword path.

From there I continued swinging again and again , following the sword path linking my attacks one after the other. The burden on my body lessens as the sword became lighter and lighter with every swing.

Suddenly the enemy's opened a path towards the center of their formation. And there stood the three Undead Generals . They ready them selves for a duel . It would seems that the enemy commander grew tired of waiting. So they decided to take matters into their own hand. Despite it being a duel , they still won't relent, they didn't fought one by one but decided to face me three against one.

(" I guess they are remain cautious whilst trying to fight .")

[[ It seems like despite out numbering you and being in a better condition to fight they are still afraid of you dear Host ]]

[[ How lucky ]]

[[ To face such cowards , it makes things easier for is it not ]]

[[ Well I hope they can put up a good fight at least ]]

[[ Oh and by the way , I do hope that you still have the energy to fight against them ]]

[[ Don't tell me you are out of strength already ]]

[[ It'll be a shame if you suddenly collapsed mid fight ]]

[[ Now entertain me as best as you can dear Host ]]

(" Oh , no need to worry about me Creed .")

(" I won't lose to these rabbles.")

[[ Hmmph , Whose worried about you !!! ]]

(" Elise purchase another stamina potion from the System Shop .")

(" And equip the Mystic Class Boost .")

[[ Confirmed ]]

[[ Stamina Potion Purchased ]]

[[ Confirmed ]]

[[ Mystic Class Boost enabled ]]

[[ All of the Host's attack will be imbued with Mystic Powers for the next 3 minutes ]]

(" This should tilt the favor in my odds .")

Uruk

" Lets just kill this mortal quickly ."

" We already spend to much time, on this one mortal !"

Kura

" No lets cut him piece by piece , make him suffer !"

" He is already half dead anyway , lets make sure his journey to the after life long and painful !"

Ruk

" Lets just get fight , I don't want to wait any more !"

" Stop wasting time and attack him , right now !"

Kura

" Stop being such an idiot Ruk !"

" We have to attack him together , don't just run in on your own !"

Ruk

" Who are you calling idiot Kura !"

" I'm way stronger then you Kura !"

" There's no way the great Ruk will die at the hand of this mortal !"

Uruk

" Stop Arguing Ruk , Kura !"

" Lets just fight now and worry about that later !"

(" So the Undead Generals and The Corpse Generals has some degree of intelligence.")

(" interesting , They are able to communicate using our language .")

(" I want to get more information out of them but now is not the time , lets finish this quick before the Boost run out .")

(" But despite the heavy casualties to their ranks , they didn't even give them a shred of thought .")

(" Looks like they only care about them selves .")

(" But what about the Corpse General ?")

(" He hasn't talk nor make a move yet .")

(" I better stay alert just in case .")

Ruk

" Attack !!!"

The first out of the three Undead General charged straight at me spear in hand. Without much thought into his actions he just started swinging and stabbing with his spear. Only managing to hit nothing but empty air next to me.

I took the chance in a moment of imbalance . I stabbed his neck with my dagger. As I stepped to the side to avoid his lifeless body . The other two Undead Generals attacked me. Both of them tried to stab me with their spears , barely missing my body by an inch.

As I swung my sword in an attempt to cut down one of them . A spear suddenly thrust in front of me , blocking my path mid attack . Forcing me to step backwards to avoid collision. As I turned my head towards the other end of the spear, shockingly its not one of the Soldiers but the Undead General , whose neck I stabbed with my dagger. He is still moving despite having a dagger plunged trough his neck.

He pulled my dagger from his neck. He threw down the dagger down into the ground , the dagger tainted the ground with some kind of black liquid . Superficial injuries won't stop the movement of Undead Generals. Although the Undead Soldiers have a high resilience , they still die after receiving this kind of wounds.

("But still how is he still alive despite this injury ? ")

(" I don't have time to think about it, since stabbing his neck is not enough to kill him .")

(" Then I'll have to completely cut of his head from his body , we'll see if he can still move after that !")
